I have Windows Defender set up to do a quick scan everyday.
These scans are not running ?
When I open defender it indicates it hasn't scanned since the last time I
forced a manual scan.
The Defender ICON in the system tray displays the green checkmark until I
reboot.
When I reboot it changes to the orange checkmark and indicates I haven't
scanned my machine since the last time I manually scanned it.

Has anyone experienced this ?
And if so, have you found a solution ?

thanks.

Are you running CCleaner? Have you asked it to clean up items related to
Windows Defender?

I am not running CCleaner, nor any other such product.
I use McAfee Security Center for virus, firewall and identity protection.
I have watched during the time I set under Tools, Options and the scan never
appears to start.

I neglected to ask what version of WIndows?

Assuming XP, go to control panel, add or remove programs, Windows Defender,
and repair windows defender--I think that is under change, the right button,
but you can also check under the left button or link.

Hello Henry,

It helps those answering your questions if you pяovide your operating system
and service pack information (e.g. Windows XP SP2, Vista SP1)

Engel,
I'm sorry, I'm new to this.
I included that information in my profile and thought it redundant to do so
again.

I am using Windows XP HE SP3

Uninstall, Reboot - twice), Re-Install, Reboot - twice, Update, Done.
Good luck

Bill,

I tried this and it did not work, as the automatic scans still did not run.
I am now following Kayman's suggestion.
I have removed Windows Defender and rebooted (not sure why twice, but, I
did, just in case).
I have reinstalled Defender, rebooted twice again and will see if the
automatic scans run now.
Thanks for the help.

Question, does XP support 64 bit applications ?
(I didn't see a 32 bit Defender available).

thanks again.

64-bit versions of Windows support 64-bit applications. There is a 64-bit
version of XP, but if you are not sure you are running it, you are very
probably not--very few people, relatively, are.

There are 64-bit versions of Vista, and of comparable Server versions of
Windows.

The 64-bit version of windows should refuse to install on a 32-bit OS
version.

This confusion has come up periodically--did you go directly to Microsoft
for Windows Defender? If not, www.microsoft.com/defender should get you
there,

Bill,
I did go tot eh microsoft website, but to be safe, I removed Defender again
and relaoded. Again, the install process requested that i VERIFY, so i
assume it verified that I have the correct OS for the version of Defender
being loaded.
I did make a change this time though.
In the past i have not elected to become a member of Microsoft Spynet, this
time I selected that option to see if it makes a difference.
I have an autoscan scheduled for 13 minutes from now, i should know soon if
that resolved the problem.
I'll let you know.

Thanks again for your help.
